[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - task-create event

[twiceknightly]

Hi,

I have a start state with a task and some variables (see below).  However I want to set the initial values of the variables.  That's what I am try to do in the action called "SetupSuspiciousTransaction"  using the task-create event.  i.e. I'm trying to do some initial setup in my start state when I first create this task.  The problem I'm having is that the call to processInstance.getTaskMgmtInstance().createStartTaskInstance(); doesn't seem to fire off the action.  I assumed that during the creation of the start task my action would be called.  It is getting called but I think it's getting called on taskInstance.end();  How would I do some initialisation before starting the task on the start-state? 


  |    <start-state name="simulate suspicious transaction">
  |       <task name="Simulate Transaction" swimlane="Fraud Investigator">
  | 		<controller>
  |             <variable name="transaction value" access="read,write,required"></variable>
  |             <variable name="account number" access="read,write,required"></variable>
  |             <variable name="transaction status" access="read,write,required"></variable>
  |          </controller>
  | 		<event type="task-create">
  |    			<action class="com.nr.tms.workflow.objectservices.actionhandlers.SetupSuspiciousTransaction"/>
  |    		</event>
  |       </task> 
  |    		<transition name="submit" to="check transaction"></transition>
  |    </start-state>
